"South Park Season 27 Release Date Revealed in Topical Trailer"

The boys are back in town — and by the boys, we mean Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. South Park is set to return for Season 27, where our favorite Colorado crew will be tackling the world's current state of affairs in their uniquely irreverent way.

The beloved animated series has released a new trailer to announce the upcoming season, cleverly playing with viewers' expectations by initially presenting it as a sneak peek at a dramatic new show. The trailer starts with intense editing and suspenseful music, creating an ominous atmosphere. However, the mood shifts hilariously when Randy and Shelley appear, with Randy asking Shelley if she's been taking drugs. "Because I think it could really help you," he quips, as they sit on her bed with a Wicked movie poster in the background.

After the gag, the trailer shifts back to action-packed scenes, hinting at several major plot points for the new season. These include multiple plane crashes, the toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo by P. Diddy, and another war with Canada. For fans of the series, especially those familiar with the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, the latter plot point won't come as a surprise.

The teaser confirms that Season 27 of South Park will premiere on July 9, 2025, on Comedy Central. This marks over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has released three specials: South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children) in 2023, and South Park: The End of Obesity in 2024.

South Park, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022, has been a staple on Comedy Central since its debut in 1997, earning near-instant acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.
